I have an Alpha liner and have been using it for about a year now. When I
first started using it I could pour the water out of it. I asked many
questions on ways to prevent the perspiration and tried several to no avail.
Over time the perspiration has slowed down. However, when I work
outside , play basketball or other activities where I create some body heat,
I need to remove the liner, wipe (dry) the leg and the liner and start over.
Additionally, the liner gets warm from the body heat and is more pliable.
Thus it does not have the same resistance forces (Loses some of it's tensile
strength) and is looser on the limb.
